Then I pointed out a spelling mistake in the minutes of the meeting, where they referred to one employee about to be offered a full-time permanent contract using the spelling of my name. The error was acknowledged and fixed, then one of the board members turned to me and asked "when will you sign a permanent contract with us?" "Not till you offer me one with 26 weeks' annual leave" I replied.
At today's meeting, herself and the Chairman come up to me and ask "were you serious - would you really sign a permanent contract, if we offered you 26 weeks leave?"
Nah ... well ... ...... nah - who wants to be tied down like that?
